The Hard Luck of Legislators.
The members of the Legislature are
iketting tired of paying raliroad fares
[to go home every week and back the
| next week. It is not surprising.
{things are so different from what they
fused to be
The railroads do not know how the
{trouble is to be remedied, they need
the money and make everybody pay
{fare. But some of the legislators
think they have a way to fix it. They
have found that in New Jersey the
rallroads are required by law to give
| passes members of the Legisla-
{ture and other officials. aud in that
{way they are under no obligations to
{the railroads, it having been particu-
{larly observed, of that the
{railroads have no in New
to
course,
influence
Jersey
It is suggested, therefore, that the
isame plan shall be adopted in Penn-
isylvania, and that the railroads shall
be compelled by law to let the legis-
|lators ride home and back every week
without charge. They would then
feel Just as free as they now do to
jreduce fares, enact a railroad cow-
mission, resurvey the lines with a
view to*feducing the mileage. and do
all the other things the railroads don't
| want them to do
But what would they give
for the free passes” If the railroads
are not to get anything out of {t
who 18? Clearly It would be the leg-
|islator himself, and what he got
would be in the nature of additional
{compensation, which is forbidden by
|the Constitution. He is to receive no
his salary and
in return
‘compensation
{mileage and neither can be increased
|during his term
| And If such a law were enacted the
{unfeeling raliroad companies would
be likely to barricade themselves be-
{hind that provision of the Constitu-
*itlon which forbid them to issue free

Waghington—Every time a man
balling from financial circles comes
here to see the President there is
report directly afterward of Mr
Hoosevell having backed down or of
having changed his attitude toward
corporations. This report does not
necessarily get Into print, but circu-
fates to a grealer or less extent
among the financier's friends “There
is more or less excitement for awhile,
usually aboyt a week, and then things
revert to their original status
This situation has been presented
of late with rather mope than Yue
usual commotion because rather more
than the usual number of persons
classed as financiers have seen the
President within a short period. None
of them, however, has received the
slightest indication that the Preside
has changed his attitude, dnd so far
